Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

PROS
Comfortable, practical interior
Very competitive list prices
Good roadholding and smooth ride

CONS
Entry-level model is lacking desirable extras
Petrol models feel underwhelming
Interior is functional rather than special

By: 
parkers.co.uk

Among the most complete family cars you can buy for sensible money. As compelling in 2021 as it was when it was launched in late-2016.

PROS
Versatile cabin,
aggressive pricing,
quality cockpit and tech

CONS
No electrified version yet

By: 
topgear.com

Pros
Plenty of cargo space
Upscale interior design and materials
Distinctive styling and paint color choices add personality

Cons
Front seats aren't very comfortable for long drives
Less than athletic handling

For the Seltos's sophomore year, it gains a host of driver-assistance features as standard, including automated emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and automatic high-beam headlamps. The larger 10.3-inch infotainment screen is now standard on more of the Seltos's trim levels, and all but the LX trim now come with automatic climate control and remote start; the top-spec SX receives a flat-bottomed steering wheel and a new Plum interior color scheme. The Nightfall Edition is new to the lineup this year and features unique black-painted 18-inch aluminum wheels and blacked-out exterior trim.

Pros
Roomier cabin than other subcompact SUVs,
slick infotainment features,
engaging driving dynamics.

Cons
Stiff-legged ride over bumpy surfaces,
optional seven-speed automatic occasionally stumbles,
base powertrain could use some refinement.
